Thats a great sequence, unfortunately I would never ever see that in a game =P Not with a thousand years of training! Its amazing how there was no way to stop the mate from 8 moves before it!

I don't think 1. Qh5+ was necessary. If white continued without that move: 1. Bf7+ Ke7 2. Nd5+ Kd6 3. Nc4+ Kc6 4. Nb4+ Kb5 5. a4+ Kxb4 6. c3# (still forced)

An unlikely runaround - always pays to look ahead! Nice one.

NinjaBear said what I was gonna say.  An awesome example of the power of 2 knights working in concert, by the way.

 Warning: Do not read if u are trying to solve the puzzle

 I see what u are saying but what if on move five Black played Nxa4 instead of Kxb4, it woud take a longer checkmate
